The Federal Government’s decision to increase worker salaries by 40% has been praised by the Nigerian Labour Congress.
This was one of the decisions that the NLC’s National Administrative Council adopted at its conclusion.
This was stated in a statement that our correspondent received on Thursday and was co-signed by the NLC’s Secretary General, Emmanuel Ugboaja, and President, Comrade Joe Ajaero.
We commend the federal government on its recently announced pay award decision to public personnel in the nation, the statement said in part.
The NLC also issued a warning to state council members not to defend governors who abuse employees in their states.
